In the latest 3D Slicer 4.11.0 releases, the Threshold effect in the Segment Editor module now includes the option to specify the minimum and maximum thresholds based on the histogram of a region of interest in the slice view.
Clicking and dragging on a slice view will create a yellow border that encompasses the region of interest. Several different shapes can be used to draw the region of interest including: box, circle, freeform draw, or line.
The local histogram for this region will be automatically calculated and displayed within the segment editor panel.
Clicking and dragging on the histogram will manually change the values used in the automatic calculation of the upper and lower threshold values. Right clicking on the histogram will revert back to automatic calculation from the histogram.
Suggestions and feedback are welcome.
